BR27DTR001 - Herbaceous Brushing in the Thompson Rivers District

The contract BR27DTR001 outlines the manual herbaceous brushing and associated danger tree assessment and felling activities for two specific blocks, BE0157-A and BE0691-B, located within the Bush Creek Fire area near Gold Creek FSR. These blocks are scheduled for tree planting in the spring of 2026, and post-fire vegetation has grown aggressively, posing a direct threat to the survival of newly planted seedlings. The work requires precise manual clearing of herbaceous vegetation to reduce competition and create optimal growing conditions, alongside the identification and safe removal of hazardous trees that could endanger workers or newly established plantings. The effort is essential to ensure successful reforestation outcomes and long-term forest health in the burned area. The solicitation is issued by the Natural Resource Operations - Thompson Rivers division of the Government of Canada, with a posted date of May 13, 2026, and a strict response deadline of June 18, 2026. The contracting authority is Jessica Zahnd, reachable via email at Jessica.Zahnd@gov.bc.ca. Although the contract falls under federal procurement, no specific set-aside or NAICS code is provided, and detailed location information such as city or postal code is omitted. Interested parties must respond by the deadline to be considered for this operational requirement tied directly to post-fire recovery and forest rehabilitation efforts in British Columbia.
